Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Jane Austen’s last completed novel is a mature, gorgeously bittersweet story about love, regret, and second chances. It’s been seven years since Anne’s family induced her to break off her engagement to Wentworth, a sea captain of little means. But losing him only made her realize how precious their love had been, leaving her with a sorrow that never quite faded.
When their paths cross again, his presence cuts through the grayness of Anne’s world like sudden sunlight. But could he ever rekindle his feelings for her after such heartbreak? Nuanced in its humor and deeply yearning in its emotion, Persuasion shows Austen at her most ruminative and insightful.

i am whole agony
and if love ever finds me again, i hope it'll come to me through a letter, blaming me for piercing it's soul.
one word, phenomenal
this book had intensified my urge to write a whole literature (i’m not even kidding) which really indicates that it is exceedingly, beautifully crafted. i was fascinated about how jane just… decipher every thought that you can instantly comprehend it once you read it. the words used possess such medium kind of depth that it was very eloquent (like i’m so impressed, tsoa’s crown slipped a bit) so yeah, ang ganda talaga naiiyak aq. omw to make my own novel 🏃🏻♀️ (eme)
